О Rolling Stones замолвим слово

"Chris Jagger" 1973 не слышал.А интересно .На АМГ 4 звезды дали.А вот Rock the Zydeco 1995 краем уха послушал.По-моему ничего так (в смыле неплохо) в своём жанре (см. название).

Ronnie Wood & Fiends
Live at Theatre Royal Drury Lane, London, UK
March 13, 2005
Pre-show info
The show was announced less than 3 weeks ago, on Tuesday Feb. 16, and tickets went on sale the day after. It sold out fast. And it is no printing error. "Fiends" is the correct term Ronnie used for the guys he brought on stage for the night.
Stones fans starving for live music. Ronnie fans. London fans who always appreciate a great rock show. They all grabbed the tickets as soon as the word was out. Fans booked tickets from outside London. Even from outside UK. Even from outside Europe. Expectations...
Show day
Ronnie and some of his "Fiends" arrived around 3pm. Some 20-30 hard core fans waited outside by the back door to say hello to Ronnie, who did not expect any fans there at all at that time. It was supposed to be just an informal fun show. But fans are fans, always ready, always there to get every single moment of the show. And for the hard core fan the show is on as the star enters the back door for rehearsals...
Theatre Royal is a beautiful building. Very beautiful inside. It does not have any facilities or space for all the equipment the Stones bring in for their club events, but for this scaled down event with a minimum of security and no special needs for recordings, it was perfect. On the sides many smaller private style balconies, with space for 5-6 people or so. Then three levels of main balconies.
I have to say I have never seen so many peple in the bar area while the warm-up was on. People were here for Ronnie, not for the warm-up. That is for sure. But they sounded ok from what I could tell by just hearing.
Ronnie started off on his own. With a solid band including Stones backing mates Darryl Jones and Bernard Fowler he felt safe and sharp. Did not have any drings or cigarettes at all through out the show. Just water, which is great news. At one point he said "this is f... hard work you know", as it seems he spend a lot of energy on running his own show, especially in the beginning. Then Andrea Corr came along, and with her help plus also Bernard on vocals Ronnie seemed to relax a bit more.
The theatre with 3 large upper balconies stacked above the floor, giving space for around 1600 people, all in chairs. The concert feel on the floor was on from the first song, as everybody on the floor stood up and also crowded the isles. Security cared for nothing except real security, plus preventing people from smoking.
Many great songs. Reviews to come. The highlight of the night came when Ronnie started up DANCE. I said to myself: Who is going to sing on this song? And before my mind could thing of any alternatives, out from the last night left Darryl side jumps no others than Mick Jagger himself. Smiling, singing, jumping, and driving the song just as he does with the Stones. Excellent. I think even Mick seemed more relaxed than normal, because this was a no security no expectations just have fun and enjoy as much as you like show. Andrea Corr was on stage too, but even if she is declared the worlds most sexy woman I must say I did not put my eyes on her for a split second during that song. Still she looked great.
Mick disappeared just as fast as he showed up. Then Ronnie said something like "he surprised the shit out of me", smiled and played on.

Review by Ronald Blank
London town rocked last night as Ronnie and the best pickup band that I have ever witnessed provided a musical surprise. Yes, I jumped at the chance to buy a ticket and go to London but I also had kept my expectations low because I did not know what to expect. Then on Thursday before the show, we got news about the players who were expected to perform. When I saw that Darryl Jones was added, I started to get excited. Maybe Ronnie was really serious about this?
The warm-up act were decidedly low-key and I retreated to the saloon for another libation. It also gave me another opportunity to look again at all of Ronnie's art that was on display. The new painting called "Forty Licks" with the four Stones on-stage ready to take a bow was outstanding. I can imagine how much they are asking for it!

Finally, at 08:30'ish, the houselights went down. The crowd got very loud. Nothing happened. About 30 seconds later, Ronnie finally entered by himself from the right, dressed in a green jacket with a sequined shirt underneath. He strode out to the centre mike, and played "Mystify Me" all by himself. I could tell right away that it was going to be good because of his concentration. It was great. The rest of the band started straggling in behind him, in the shadows while he played it and by the time it was completed, it was time to move on to another 'oldie but goodie' as he likes to say. "Am I Grooving You" has to be my second favourite song from his early LP and it lit up the theatre last night. Ray Cooper was doing his usual maniacal percussion routine, Darryl and Bernard were the very familiar backups, and Mac on the keyboards was amazing.

This segued into Dylan's "Seven Days" where Woody's vocals really shone. He has a unique voice, aged by decades of smoking and drinking, and it can tell a story all by itself. But I really listened to the words last night and I was blown away by the enthusiasm and energy that he put into it.

The guest vocalist songs were really nice tonight too. Bernard's "If I Don't Have You", Andrea Corr's "Oh La La" and "Little Wing" as well as Beverely Knight in her skintight Licks-adorned black dress belting out "Piece of My Heart" were all outstanding and fine entertainment.

Then it was into "Black Limousine" and the 12-bar blues in it filled the place with such boundless enthusiasm that you could have sworn it was a Stones concert. Little could I have guessed, but it was almost to happen next. Ronnie said something or other about "learning to dance from this next guy", and before we could blink, Mick came running on from the left-side. I jumped up and for the next 6 minutes or so, my eyes were glued on the human dance machine that only Mick can be. He taunted, he flirted, he sang the words with a familiarity unbecoming to Dance Pt 1 since they never do it for real, but all the time, his crazy ear-to-ear grin never left his face. What can you say, except another mesmerizing performance from Mick Jagger. Ronnie truly appreciated it too, as he was reveling in the glare and the accolades. By the time it was finished and the two of them hugged, the night had reached the pinnacle we all had hoped for, but probably never said out loud before the night began.

The final two songs featured Kenny Jones on drums, taking over from the highly capable Andy Newwark. We were treated to the exquisite "Flying" and the encore "Stay with Me" Even though the night ended after just 85 minutes, I was immensely pleased. Ronnie never smoked or drank alcohol, directed a tight band and group of singers through a rigorous workout, and played a mean guitar to boot.

There were two professional video cameras setup on the ledges left and right on the Grand Circle where I was seated. Hopefully, this will mean a DVD could possibly be coming out. I sure hope so. On this night, Ronnie Wood and his Fiends put on a magnificent display for a crowd of friends and fans. Bring it on Ronnie!

Участились всякие там слухи о начале нового тура. То болтали о большом шоу в Гайд-парке в конце лета, вот теперь "румоурзы" из Амэрыки.

можно обнаружить фрагменты выступления Ронни 14 марта, записанные из зрительного зала одним из поклонникоф.
Забавляет фраза Ронни перед выходом Джэггера в песенке "Дэнс": "Ща поучимся танцевать...с классным учителем..." :)))

в Москве от GALA Records (офиц. представитель "Вёрджн" и "И-Эм-Ай" ин Раша) появились в продаже диджи-паковые "Сакин ин зе 70-с" и "Мейд ин ...". Оформление без буклетов-вкладышей. На шелкографии-накатке на "Мейд ин..." нет даже названия группы и пластиночки... Но материал на обейх сидюках достойный.Кхе, знают мэйджоры, что всё-равно любители раскупят...Но "Сосунки", конечно же поынтереснее будут..

А я щаз только получил SACD 12х5. Звук обалденный и в стерео.

Jerry Hall's single could 'make a grown man cry'
By Anthony Barnes, Arts and Media Correspondent
Published : 20 March 2005

Their last top 10 hit was more than 20 years ago, when Mick Jagger and the rest of the Rolling Stones belted out "Start Me Up," which included the lyrics "don't make a grown man cry". That may now be about to happen as Jagger faces up to the news that Jerry Hall, the former model and his ex-wife, finally takes revenge in a thinly veiled musical attack on his philandering.

The 48-year-old has made her recording debut on a track by her friend Rachel Fuller - the girlfriend of The Who's Pete Townshend - which is to be released as a single in the coming months. It is bound to touch a nerve with her ex, as it explores the breakdown of a marriage and refers to a husband who takes lovers while she is out of town.

Jagger was notoriously wayward during their two-decade relationship and fathered a child with the Brazilian model Luciana Morad.

Hall performed the track in front of music industry figures from around the world at a showcase for British artists hosted by Radio 2 and the British Phonographic Industry in Austin, Texas. Hall gave a spoken-word delivery - a form she calls "country recitation" - on the track "Around This Table", written by Fuller.

She has also recorded a version of the song at Ronnie Scott's club in London for a BBC Radio 2 show, Eddie Izzard's Late Night Cabaret, which will be broadcast on Saturday.

The model has a long association with the music industry though she has never been a performer. She did some work for Roxy Music and dated the band's singer, Bryan Ferry. She left him for Jagger, whom she married in 1990, but they split in 1999 following his affair with Morad, although they remain on friendly terms.
The song will appear on Fuller's album Cigarettes & Housework when it is released in the UK shortly.

Fuller said of Hall's contribution: "I thought of Jerry because I knew she would do a good job. The song is about what happens when a relationship breaks down and everyone starts arguing about who owns the spoons and all the material things."

Fuller was conscious that parallels would be drawn between the content and Hall's experiences. She said: "I want to release it as the second single off the album - if Mick doesn't mind too much." The spoken-word format was chosen, said Fuller, because Hall "can't really sing".

It is not the first time that an angry lover has got her own back in song. Carly Simon's 1972 hit "You're So Vain" is famously said to have been directed at film star Warren Beatty. More recently New York rapper Eamon released "F**k it (I don't want you back)" following a failed relationship.

'AROUND THIS TABLE'

We make love on it

Our children scratch their names beneath

The fire lights our passion

And the wine has numbed our grief

Then you bring other women, while I'm out of town

And I can always sense when a stranger has sat down

Новый тур стартует в сентябре.

Огромное спасибо, друг!!!

The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood revealed during a recent U.K. radio interview that the band will be rehearsing during late July and August for its next tour, which may begin in September. The guitarist also said he is trying to keep his skills honed for when he is called on to contribute to the Stones' next studio album, which currently is being put together.

>и в стерео.

Alex, у тебя вложен в ди-жи-пак "сертификат аутентичности" ?
Шо за беда: в моих SACD они не везде, хотя брал в заводской упаковке...
На обычных ремастеринговых хоть наклейкой предупреждають : есть такая весчь...
Короче, жду коментариеф...

2john lee hooker: давно облизываюсь на эти SACD. Есть возможность сравнить их с обычными компактами? Разница в звуке есть? Я имею ввиду не сколько SACD-слой сколько CD-слой, поскольку жиски эти насколько я знаю гибридные...

на обычной аппаратуре -- никакой разницы...Естественно, если сравниваете переиздание 2002-го года.Насколько я понимаю, в обычном аппарате с SAСD считывается "обычная дорожка"...Но в сравнении с другими изданиями, моё мнение, ремастеринг выше всяких похвал. Оч. здорово.

Слышал "обычную дорожку" SAСD Beggar's Banquet. Различие слышно,
практически на любой аппаратуре. Меньше шума и искажений.
